The house was amazing. It would make life much easier during the winter to be able to have access to the garage. You definitely DO need four wheel drive if there is a lot of snow. We were not able to get my expedition up the driveway. Maintenance work definitely needs to be kept up with. The only (constructive criticism) review I read prior to our stay mentioned several items that needed to be fixed. This review was in November so I wrongly assumed that by January those items would be fixed. They were not. 3 fireplaces - NONE worked - we checked the breaker box and that wasn't the problem (no directions anywhere) The dishwasher wouldn't drain, a very sweet person brought me some vinegar to run through it, but it was so bad that when I added the vinegar, it overflowed on to the floor. So, we hand washed every dish we used which is not something I enjoy on vacation. The shades in the bathrooms on the main floor didn't work. They are automated and stuck on UP. That wasn't very comfortable bathing at night, not knowing who might be watching. and 3 major light bulbs were out in the kitchen and the upstairs freezer made very little ice and wouldn't keep ice cream frozen. The only thing I called the management company about during our stay was the dishwasher. While on vacation, we didn't want to deal with maintenance the entire time we were there. We would most definitely stay here again, but I would inquire as to what has been fixed and what hasn't. One last little thing. The house needs a regular broom for inside and a shovel for snow. I realize these are small things and they definitely didn't mess up our stay at all, but knowing that the management team knew about the issues prior to us checking in, they should have been addressed before we got there.
